Phys.org / Two-step genome editing enables creation of full-length humanized mouse models
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory landscapes often diverge, ...
Phys.org / Fluid gears rotate without teeth, offering new mechanical flexibility
A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The invention holds potential for a new generation of mechanical devices that offer greater flexibility and ...
Phys.org / Detecting single-electron qubits: Microwaves could probe quantum states above liquid helium
One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above liquid helium. But it wasn't clear how data in this form could be read easily.
Phys.org / Bioinspired phototransistor achieves high-sensitivity detection of low-contrast targets
Drawing inspiration from the remarkable adaptability of the human eye, researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a novel phototransistor with tunable sensitivity.
Medical Xpress / Refugee families are more likely to become self-reliant if provided with support outside of camp settings
Refugees provided with targeted support outside of designated camps have a better chance of finding jobs, economic stability and safety.
Phys.org / Tightening the focus of subcellular snapshots: Combined approach yields better cell slices for cryoET imaging
Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons that emerge allow researchers ...
Medical Xpress / 3D hybrid imaging system could address limitations of MRI, CT and ultrasound
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have shown that an innovative, noninvasive technique can be used to quickly collect 3D ...
Phys.org / NASA moves moon rocket to launch pad ahead of Artemis 2 mission
NASA on Saturday rolled out its towering SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft as it began preparations for its first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years.
Phys.org / AI tools speed development of antibody probes to see activity inside living cells
Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act as lightbulbs, enabling scientists to better see inside living cells to track errors in gene expression ...
Medical Xpress / Shelf-stable mRNA delivery system targets bladder cancer cells without immune response
Published, peer-reviewed research shows a patent-pending, virus-mimicking platform technology developed at Purdue University improves upon traditional methods of targeting bladder cancer cells with messenger RNA (mRNA) therapies.
Tech Xplore / Scientists uncover new quantum state that could power future technologies
Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading to advancements in computing, sensing and materials science.
Phys.org / Ancient Type II supernova discovered from universe's first billion years
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new Type II supernova. The newly detected supernova, named SN Eos, exploded when the universe was only 1 billion years old. ...
